Well, though it wasn't my first experience with spray painting, it was my first experience with doing it for a home decor project...and thus really caring about the result.
Speaking of the results...well, I think they turned out pretty well.
I started with some pretty normal looking glass jars and vases.
I ended up with some cute opaque-y vases and a totally I-will-actually-use-it tray.
I really liked doing this project. I scored some really cute spray paint in light blue, pale yellow and teal. The lighter the color, the more coats I had to apply, and I learned a few lessons the hard way, (hello PATIENCE!!) but I want to do more stuff like this. It was even worth the spray paint fume headache I got.
I'm now looking at different things in my house and wondering what they'd look like with spray paint. Might I say that I've got the spray paint fever?
More projects coming soon!
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI feel like reading your blog is making my wallet get smaller- you always have so many good ideas I just want to run out and do/buy them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill!
ReplyDeleteKate, reading my own blog makes my wallet smaller. Now I feel the need to spray paint some of my furniture and thus buy more spray paint. It's a never ending cycle! ;)
I really like the way the mason jar came out. The spray paint gives the jar a really cool look.
ReplyDeleteA surgical mask and a good fan help with the fumes :-)
